watched "Infinite Secrets" - a Nova production on Archimedes
answer the following:
1. Consider Archimedes' scientific and mathematical contributions. What were some of his inventions? Which of his discoveries were the most revolutionary and why?
2. An anonymous collector paid $2 million for Archimedes' Palimpsest (a palimpsest is a manuscript that has been written on more than once). What makes the book so valuable? How was it created? How was it analyzed when first found in 1906? How is it being analyzed today? What was the effect of losing the manuscript for so long?
